A big-shouldered, big-trouble thriller set in mobbed-up 1920s Chicago-a city where some people knew too much, & where everyone should have known better-by the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of The Untouchables & Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Glengarry Glen Ross. Mike Hodge-veteran of the Great War, big shot of the Chicago Tribune, medium fry-probably shouldn`t have fallen in love with Annie Walsh. Then, again, maybe the man who killed Annie Walsh have known better than to trifle with Mike Hodge. In Chicago, David Mamet has created a bracing, kaleidoscopic page-turner that roars through the Windy City`s underground on its way to a thunderclap of a conclusion.
